功能性磁共振成像的应用和发展前景

Applications of fMRI in clinical medicine and brain neuroscience

功能性磁共振成像(functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging,fMRI)是当代医学影像技术应用于脑神经科学研究最为迅速的领域之一。本文首先简要介绍功能性磁共振成像的基本原理,然后着重叙述该技术在临床和基础研究中的应用和发展前景。

Now functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging （fMRI） has been more rapidly applied in clinical medicine and brain neuroscience than some other modern medical imaging techniques. This paper first briefly introduces the principle of fMRI, and then its some applications in clinical medicine and brain function research are described in details together with its some recent developments.
